Mini Dropper and Sauce Bottles

[Spork]

Having to carry an entire bottle of Campsuds has always been a peeve of mine...especially when I only use a few drops per trip. I found these dropper bottles on ebay and bought 3ml and 6ml sizes...there are larger sizes available.

These are Japanese Bento box sauce bottles. I bought the rectangular bottle and pigs set :9: There are other shapes available. They are thinner walled than the bottles above but will handle thicker sauces more easily. The way to fill them is to suck up the sauce or liquid from a small dish or cup. I've tested them filled with water and they seem to seal pretty well. I'm thinking cooking or sesame chili oil in the rectangular bottle and Sriracha sauce in the pigs...

Those pigs are pretty cool, nice addition.

Those bottles are tiny, I use the visine eye drop bottle like you have, and its pretty small. Some of the ultrlighters like to use them tiny ones. Thanks for sharing

I wouldn't have minded re-using Visine bottles, but I never seem to have any empty ones...somehow they disappear before they are empty

I have bad luck with oil. Most bottles I've tried, especially pop-top bottles like those sauce and pig bottles seem to leak or seep oil unless they are kept upright. Best cheap option I've found for a small bottle is repurposing 5 hour energy drink bottles. They are pretty small but hold enough oil for a couple meals. 2oz I think. Plus they seal good.

I do the same thing with some tiny prescription eyedrop bottles I have. One of my dogs is missing an eye and blind in the other, and requires very expensive drops in the remaining eye to keep the pressure down (glaucoma). I've reused two of the bottles for camping essentials. One contains Dr. Bronner's soap, and the other holds bleach (emergency water disinfectant). The bottles are tiny - only about as big as a quarter. Great way to carry small quantities of any liquid.

yeah do the same and use the flip tops also.I repackage Bag Balm and keep it next to the body in the colder times so I can squirt it out.

great idea! i stopped taking camp soap with me because of the weight. i started using biodegradable wipes for pretty much every thing now.
